Absolutely stupid, dumb dubm dumb Jim Phil Coke isn't any good.

Well that was genius hey I have an idea let's leave Coke out there for just one more hitter

 

[kalinecountry]

If Leyland wanted a lefty Below,

or Villarreal for Heat and Sliders.

Porcello should walk right over and punch Smokes in the cancer hole.

 

[tigermud]

[jas5lf]

[tigermud]

[kingofdetroit57]

Coke stinks. He seems to get a little worse every year too.

 

[dpinsea]

Bats better put some more runs up.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Not bad really; faced three hitters, got one of them out...

AJax didn't dive, didn't back of and play it on a hop. Kind of tweened it. Lucky bounce that it hit off him, and stayed in front.

Me
Jackson is great defensively, but he won't dive for a ball in front of him.

Mowery
nope.

Me.
Matthew have you or any of the Tigers beat writers asked him about that?

Mowery
Yeah, we have. Basically, if I recall his answer, there's too much room in CF at Comerica to risk it.

Me.
That sounds like he is fearful of missing the ball + it gets behind him, we thought either that or he would risk injury. thanks.

M.Mowery
Yes, I think that's what it is. I know he's been asked.
True. Jackson gets to so many balls (standing up) that others (see: Berry, Granderson) end up diving for.

Nice how Coke comes in and gives up a run, but his ERA goes down.

I wanna hit something really bad.

 

[gotime909]

Once again Coke comes in for just one out and a man on first. Runner ends up scoring, but coke's line shows no runs allowed. More proof that ERA is not a good measuring stick.

 

[kalinecountry]

Last time Coke came in and Didn't allow a baserunner was July 8th??

So...you are saying he did good with his ERA going down? ==
